WE also undertook

studies

and assessments,

in eluding testing

of sediment and water samples,

to evaluate

the environmental

impacts

of the collapse.

A summary

of this work

was submitted

to DNR

in

a letter report dated November

19, 2012.

In that report,

WE requested

that DNR determine

that

no further response

action

was required

in connection

with

the collapse.

In

a letter dated December

10, 2012, DNR confirmed

that no further response

action

was required. FIRST CLAIM: IMPROPER EXCAVATION

IN

A WASTE DISPOSAL

AREA 18. Section

NR 506.085(3),

Wis. Adm. Code provides

that excavation

of the final cover

or any waste materials

is prohibited

at solid waste disposal facilities
which

are no longer

in operation

unless specifically approved

by the DNR

in writing. 19. Sections 289.01(35)

and 289.01(41),

Wis. Stats. would include

ash disposal areas

as

a solid waste facility

or waste

site. 20.

WE was granted

a conditional exemption

from Section

NR 506.085(3)

by the DNR

on June

6, 2008 based

on the request

it provided

on January

30, 2008.

The original request

did not cover

the installation

of

a holding

tank

or any associated

utility pipes. Although

WE submitted updated

storm water plans

to the DNR Office

of Energy on July

3, 2008, including

the relocation

of the flue
gas desulphurization

pond

to avoid impacts

to wetland
areas,

WE
did not submit

a request

for modification

of the solid waste exemption previously
granted

by the DNR. 21.

WE excavated

waste materials

and constructed

the new storm water pond

in areas other than those covered

by the June

6, 2008 Grant

of Exemption

in violation
ofNR 506.085(3)

and Wis.
Stat 289.96(3).
